You left out a top Canadian military officer being found guilty of multiple murders and rape.Broomstick wrote:Norade, when I read about a crazy Canadian decapitating fellow bus passengers with a side order of cannibalism thrown in or some batshit crazy lady in Toronto cuts off her neighbor's hand with a machete I don't immediate leap to the conclusion that all Canadians are deranged, people-eating, machete wielding, ax-crazy maniacs intent on murder. But hey, if it's Americans we're talking about that kind of conclusion-leaping is OK, right? Go to hell.

You're comparing isolated incidents to what appears to be a pattern of behaviour among your population. If we had a large number of bus beheadings or military men committing multiple murders you could say the same* for us.

Re: Ex-Chicago cop found guilty of lying about torture.
Norade basically said that because a handful of cops in Chicago tortured suspects every single cop in the entire nation is evil, incompetent, or both. Bit of a reach, don't you think?

People, lets not start dog piling. Norade did start to back off after talking with Kamakazie Sith. Let him clarify his core statement.
"If the facts are on your side, pound on the facts. If the law is on your side, pound on the law. If neither is on your side, pound on the table."
"The captain claimed our people violated a 4,000 year old treaty forbidding us to develop hyperspace technology. Extermination of our planet was the consequence. The subject did not survive interrogation."

Re: Ex-Chicago cop found guilty of lying about torture.
Hey, sorry for over reacting to the story. As you'll see I've had some personal let downs with the police and after getting some shit of of my chest I can say that I was wrong. I likely should have been titled a few times now and this is yet again a time I've let my passion for arguing be my downfall. I thank the mods for not doing so and I'll try to think before posting from now on.
Thanks for the patience all.
PS: Posting while drunk so forgive any crazy errors. I still stand by what I'm posting,I just avoid posting this while sober because I'm thinner skinned than I might admit.
